cool, that fixed the Sec_ro problem.. can you tell me the next step?

I go to the 'read back' tab, have everything loaded from the scatter, click on the "Read Back" button, and it sits at 0% forever and says "searching"

ive tried it without the phone plugged in, and with it plugged in both in USB debuggin mode and without usb debug

any idea why?

I'm not using a serial cable, and USB appears to be a set Baudrate of 19200 bps

I've tried naming the save file ROM_0.bin and ROM_0.img

I've tried Start Address 0x00000000 at lengths 0x01000000, 0x00200000, 0x00400000, & 0x00800000

also tried both the RECOVERY & CACHE addresses for Length

and then also tried holding down the power button and every other button after hitting the 'read back' button, with the phone powered on and powered off

all no go

in step 1. "Make scatter by means of MTKDroidTools

Scatter is the text file with addresses of the blocks, necessary for the SP FlashTool program.

After creation of scatter don't close the main window of the program! Otherwise once again it is necessary to turn on phone"

it is unclear where the phone is or what state its in..

and in step 6. "Click on Read Back button and connect the switched-off phone to PC. Here the options depending on a concrete phone are possible. Maybe it is necessary to press at the same time with connect of a cable the camera or volume buttons. Experiment and study work with FlashTool in threads with similar phones! On some MT6573 models, for example on B63, it can't be executed with any combinations and only testpoint need!"

it says the phone is switched off and then connected

it is not clearly understood what state the phone is in before step 6 or in step one,

step one says the scatter is made from the phone in MKTDroid tools, with the phone on, and then, after the scatter is made, the phone is disconnected and turned off? but the main MTK Droid Tools window has to remain open after the scatter takes place, which takes quite a long time.. and when its done, its left open while SPFlashTools is opened at the same time, then your phone is off and sitting beside you while you load the scatter, then you click the 'read back' button, then, you just plug in your powered off phone, and start pressing buttons like crazy and see if one works?

and are they single press buttons, or press & hold?

and nobody knows what buttons, you just try random combinations of press or press & hold all your different buttons and see if something happens?

thats hundreds of combinations, one of which may reset your phone

and if you closed mtkdroid tools, you have to start all over from the very beginning in MTK Droid tools to create a Scatter File?

and step 3 says "Choose path and a ROM file name

Click on Add button. Double click of a mouse on the appeared line. Choose a file name, the name has to begin with ROM_ as offers FlashTool! Remember path and the name of ROM_ file."

it says its suppose to begin with ROM_, but doesnt say at all whether or not it needs to end in ".bin" or ".img", or does it have no extension?..

thats very unclear
